Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

Haredi school bus driver arrested for statutory rape

A driver for a haredi girl’s school in Jerusalem was arrested on Sunday, amid suspicions he repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year old passenger over the course of a year.

The man, a resident of the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, allegedly assaulted the young girl, who was assigned to assist students enter and exit the vehicle.

According to the police report, after the driver had dropped off all of the students assigned to his route, he would drive the victim to a secluded area to commit his crimes unimpeded, BeHadrei Haredim reported.

Following a complaint by the girl, the driver was arrested and interrogated. Out of consideration for the suspect’s family, Jerusalem police allowed him to voluntarily report to a police station rather than arrest him at his home in Ramat Shlomo.

The suspect is scheduled to be brought before a judge Monday morning, where police are expected to request an extension on his arrest.

Because women in some Haredi communities are forbidden to drive by decree of their overlords, that could surely be the reason why this bunch had to make do with a male driver for the bus. While women aren't saints either, I think it would've been better if a woman were tasked to drive the bus, but these dummies running the school clearly haven't got it in them to consider that.
